If you think the military should be deployed into American cities because there’s the slightest tension at a protest, congratulations!

You are a fascist!

Lots of people want to hold fascist ideologies without realizing what they’ve become, but we have words to describe things and that’s what u are

Here’s what just happened: Trump sent a peace deal to Hamas, Hamas met to discuss it in Doha, where the U.S. is mediating talks and has a base,and Israel bombed them, presumably with US support.

Dr. Tarek Loubani, who is in Gaza right now, was invited to give a talk to emergency workers about the attacks on health care facilities in Gaza.

But he was instructed - get this - not to say who was doing the attacking. Take a look at how this hero of a human responded: vimeo.com/1112115018/c...

Portland is a sanctuary city, & I'm going to fight to keep it that way.

Immigration enforcement isn't local government's role, & we're more effective & fiscally responsible when we don't do it.

Especially during this presidency's persecution of migrants, we're going to stand for ALL our people.
The city of Portland was included in a list of sanctuary jurisdictions that received letters from the U.S. DOJ this week, threatening federal action if it doesn’t cooperate with immigration enforcement.

Attorney General Pam Bondi told the city it has until Aug. 19 to outline compliance with federal immigration enforcement, or face federal action

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said sanctuary jurisdictions could lose federal funding, and officials there could face criminal prosecution if the Justice Department determines they are unlawfully impeding federal immigration enforcement.

I will support no action to comply with Trump’s hateful terror campaign against our immigrant community. Will never happen with this council. Portland will not tolerate it.

In the lead up to the Texas disaster, officials begged GOP lawmakers to fund a flood warning system — but those lawmakers & the Trump administration prioritized tax cuts as the requests were ignored.

Now, 99% of waterways are unmonitored for floods.

Is America Prepared For The Next Big Flood?
As flood risks rise, the government has failed to fully fund a monitoring system that could help prevent disasters like the one last week in Kerr County, Texas.

The people responsible for this are monsters. Everyone who supports this is on the wrong side of history. I wish I could say they would face consequences for what they have done and what they have supported, but we live in a cruel indifferent world where evil people live long comfortable lives.
To all the folks in the West, self-styled liberals & progressives, who have defended Israel's "right to self defense" since Oct 7, who've justified all the bombing in the name of 'fighting Hamas', how do you defend this?? Seriously? Are you ok with this?

Just sit with this for a moment. Israel perpetrated what is certainly the largest single mass killing of trans people in history. And it's basically a footnote in an article in the NYT covered weeks after it happened.
Israel bombed an Evin, an Iranian prison that housed dissidents and political prisoners. They ended up destroying the trans wing and murdering over 100 trans people incarcerated there, many for simply being queer in Iran.

This is unspeakable evil.
